ATI/AMD dropped Catalyst support for these cards in Catalyst 12-6. These cards are supported with the legacy ATI 12-4 Catalyst release, but you MUST use a kernel <= 3.2 and Xserver <= 1.11. For example, you can use Catalyst 12-4 if you're running Ubuntu 12.04 or Debian Squeeze/6.0. Open source support is good and 3D is still improving.
